Wouldn’t a text renderer live outside of the xi backend? So you’d have to write one for each front end? Maybe not?

Yes, this is in the front end, not the core. My current implementation is in Swift, using OpenGL, but I'm contemplating writing a cross-platform one as well (maybe Rust/Vulkan because that would target most newer devices other than Apple).
